A labor of love with my reo

[vlodato]

So she started off as a beautiful copper vein, I was stubborn and didn't seal it, got very dark and wasn't happy.(my own fault). So I sanded her down and painted her a nice silver, that never came out how I really wanted and it just never felt right in the hand. Now I decided to just bring her all the way down and do a brushed look. Not sure what she'll end up looking like but I have high hopes. Still a longish way from being down.

I actually LOVE the way the door looks just like that!

Eventually, I can see following in your footsteps...I have a black wrinkle (getting some chips here and there) with a SilverVein door (also unsealed and dark, but I like it like that).

I agree with Train, I like it as is right now in the m pictures. It's unique like that.

I think it looks really cool just the way it is now. I agree with Train2.....the door is neat.

I won't lie I was thinking of leaving it as is and just ordering a 2nd reo. I don't think I'll ever refinish the inside because 1. The copper vein still looks fresh
2. I think it gives it character.
I just need a nice looking reo to convert all the people at the vape shops haha.

Now that mod clearly has some stories to tell - I love the "character" reos. I think she looks awesome right now.

Yup pretty bad @$$!!! Don't change a thing!

Opps.. double post! Blame the storm with the extra hang time for the first post.

I also dig the way it looks now

That looks GREAT! I love it. My favorite REO is a TRA that had the old radius on the back and I sanded it down to be like the newer ones, had Rob mill the cup to LP and install a new 510. I just give it a good scrub with a green Scotchbrite pad whenever I clean it now. To me, what you did there makes that mod more truly "yours" now

That REO looks awesome. The door looks stunning IMHO

Yes, that is a tight looking mod. Nice work.
